I dedicate this to my three lovely older sisters. I saw White Christmas as a child and wanted this costume so badly.

That gorgeous night club in full. This is also dedicated to Toby Worthington who reminded me of Rosemary Clooney's torch song 'Love, you didn't do right by me' and Stefan of Architect Design who just loves Rosemary Clooney . It's also for everyone who laments the fact that these divine, sophisticated nighteries no longer exist.

Rosie, as mentioned I just watched this,& I always add some new dialog or recite along.It is completely worth watching for this scene and the reprise by Danny Kaye and Bingle.of Vera Ellen's amazingly tiny waist rumour was that she might be battling an eating disorder.Time after time watching the thing-Danny Kaye steals the show and that tiny waist too. Great fun.

I've already watched this movie 3 times this month with christmas as the 'excuse'! LOVE each song and am so pleased to have this dedicated to myself! Of course, one can't forget when Bing and Danny come out in semi-drag to perform sisters to the record :-)

Rosie, you've made my morning so much nicer with your generous inclusion of Miss Clooney's big torch number. Great song, marvelousvoice, and yes, it must have killed her in later years, to see that slenderwaistline!!

Rosemary might be the one selling that song, but the gloves are what drives it to your house and installs it.*I still think any club scene from that period is incomplete without a staggering William Holden, but that's just a prejudice of mine.
